member ef the board of managers. Mrs E. j.
Wigginton, spokesman for the strikers, said that
fifteen female attendants had quit the employ of

remain with the patients in the yard until 10
o'clock. This order required all to remain at
work until i o'clock, and It impossible for

DURLIN,S FREEDOM.

1t Is Presented to Hon. Patrick A. Collins,
of Boston, aud Editor O'Brien.
DUBLIN, Aug. 2-The Lord Mayor to-day pre-
sented the freedom of the city of Dublin to the
Hon. Patrick A Collins. OF Boston, Mass, las a
represen tatve of millions of Irish people ban
ished from their native land by landlordism and
oppression" Mr.. Collins. in his reply. promised
that the Irish in America would never desert the
cause of Ireland. He also alluded to the fact
that his luggage was searched on his arrival in
ireland, and that during his travels in the
country since, he had been honored with a de-
tective escort. He SAID however. he did not
care about the treatment he had met with from
the government.
The freedom of the city also conferred
upon the Hon. William O'Brien, editor of the
United Ireland. Mr. OBrien said that the event
furnished striking evidence of the advance of
Irish cause. "Seven years ago, he said, 1.-THE hon
or which has to-day been conferred upon Mr.. Col
Inns and myself was refused to Mr. Parnell. and,
though there WAS great indignation manifested,
the act was taken for granted as being tbs pre-
vailing sentiment of the people of Ireland against
honorng a man who had rendered distinguished
services to the cause of freedom in Ireland 1t
is different now. and majority of the people
feel that the presentation to MIR. Parnell of the
freedom of Dublin would but feebly express
their appreciation of the man and his work."

SHERMAN AND BLAINE.
Mr.. Coles "reminiscences Call Out Rather
Pointed Letter from the Ohio Man.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2-Recently the Express, of
this city, printed some "reminiscences Of Hon. A.
N. Cole, who claims to have been the father of
the Republican party, and who for thirty years
has been on more or less intimate terms with
the great political leaders. In these articles has
been much concerning these leaders, and it ap-
pears that papers containing the articles were
forwarded to John Sherman. The latter found
time to write the following decidedly pertinent
letter to Mr. Cole:

regard for each other. We were both presented
as candidates in 1880. but then some or Mr.
Blaine's friends in Ohio made the fatal mistake
of dividing the Ohio delegation and refused to
vote for me, but voted for Mr.. Blaine.
This not only defeated me, but pre-
vented the concentration of the Ohio
delegation in favor Of Mr.. Blaine the night
before the last day of the convention, when he
said he hoped the Ohio delegation would mite
upon me, and, if so, my nomination would fol-

Blaine and If he is nominated will do what
did in 1SS4-all can to secure his election. He
Is more njured than benefited by the activity

BY some it is considered that the special sig
nifcance of this letter is the fact that it ndi-

cordial relationship which have long existed be-

that John Sherman will get the Republican nom
